Wanstalls Exclusive Chiappa Alaskan Scout 12" -- Limited Run

[ljones]

So what do you get when you see an CGN invite for some GryphonEnergetics product testing?


I brought my new to me Alaskan scout and let the guys run it...


And tried it on a 1/2 pound charge...



No boom This was a 225gr at 1400+fps

Just a big thank you to Andrew at GryphonEnergetics for a wickedly fun start to the weekend!

Yeah you need minimum 2200 FPS velocity to set it off...

Here she is: (got three dirty digits in the pic too!)

Very nice quality. Miles above my rossi ranch hand, amost as nice as my Winchester! Beveled feed on the breech. The elevator sight is slightly flimsier than the one on my Winchester but by no means cheap. I like the sights, it's square front and rear notch like a handgun. Takedown is solid. Rubber coated wood is very nice! As well as light. Has no tang saftey, it has the half #### position.
All in all it's a beautiful gun and if 16's come out I'll be real tempted to get one. (This ones my dads)

Those long slender fingers. I didn't read your post first and looked at the pic first, and for some reason gave me a jump when I noticed it.

Any ultra light bullets that go 2000fps+ out of a 44mag?

Hey Mr. Wanstall,, when , if ever, do you anticipate more of these coming in? Also do you think they will be making any in stainless?
Thanks, Cheers Bob

Ya, like what he said , when you figure them coming. And could you give us a heads up please!

Hey guys. Emailed Wanstalls a couple of weeks ago asking them the same thing and they said they expect another batch of these guns to come in sometime this fall. I believe they also said they would be in 44 mag, but don't quote me on that.

It’s Italian, therefore it’s Key-appa

I was just holding the box from falling off the table! It looks weird though, right? Haha

Good to hear, will be waiting, also please keep us updated on the .45-70 or .460 if and when they start production! thanks! M
A friend of mine wants the .44 stainless for sure, I might bite also but still may hold out for the bigger bangers!

So the first batch was NOT a limited run?

I bought mine when I did because there was to be no more..................

It's ok, at least you will always have the limited run of the first batch.

 

[Max Owner]

Doesn't make me feel any better.

Hmph!

 

[bobdbldr]

The next ones are stainless and I am sure they have some differences!
